I will admit that the U.N. seems rather ineffective at times. There should definitely be some reform. The 5 member Security Council should be expanded to account for the changing world. It should probably have 11 members on it, consisting of current five plus another six depending on many other factors (India, Brazil, Australia, Germany, Turkey, South Korea) It should probably be better funded and have more peacekeeping forces. Shutting it down would be disastrous.…

Hypothetically, he could appoint Judges that have solid convictions and won’t dismantle everything that made this country great, but his promise to appoint judges along the lines of Scalia means rights will be taken away. He could even try to pack the courts to get favorable results, like republicans are doing in other states like Arizona. This is Trump the authoritarian we are talking about. Via Washington Post

I have been writing this for a few days now, and I was having a hard time starting it until the RNC released its Christmas message. The RNC Christmas message says; ““Merry Christmas to all!

Today alone, he has made multiple tweets. First, he made two posts whining about Erik Trump closing his charitable foundation. Nobody is making Erik do this. He is doing it because he got caught trying to profit off of the presidential inauguration. My…

So, maybe I am just reading too much into it but Trump seems like he’s trying to make a giant naughty list. America has lost its mind. First, his team asked the state department for a list of people working on Climate Change. This was actually #132 on my list. Then, in #139 on the list they asked the state department for a list of women’s programs and who was working on them. Now, he…

I’ve seen no less than 4 stories in the past few days that made me go “holy crap” because of the hatred related to this election season. Donald Trump is to blame for giving all of these people cover 1. Carl Paladinos Wish List: Artvoice: What would you most like to happen in 2017? Carl Paladino: Obama catches mad cow disease after being caught having relations with a Herford. He dies before his trial and is…
